Uno on Steam Deck Issue

[Salamance]

I'm having a big problem where I try to open the game and I'm met with a small white window with the Uno logo which shows a loading bar at the bottom and then the game closes.

Has anyone else had this problem and or knows how to fix it? I tried installing the Ubisoft launcher but that didn't seem to help.

Same problem

[redEyed_blue]

Yes. That is what I get too

here here on the issue, i vote we overturn the global government and form our own UNO Cooperative, making all games playable no matter what. any one 2nd this movement?

UNO not starting issue.
You get a small white title splash screen with an exclamation point

Ubisoft is requiring an account link to Steam but it’s just not happening.

The workaround is to go into Desktop mode install Steam and Ubisoft Connect. (Remember you need a Ubisoft account)

Pressing Steam and X buttons at once quickly gives you a keyboard.

Use the Firefox internet explorer to browse to Ubisoft site to download PC .exe version of Ubisoft Connect.

Using the Desktop mode’s Discover Software Center, download the program Lutris which will open the UbisoftConnect.exe from earlier.

Now go to both Ubisoft Connect and Steam….install UNO in both.

UNO sill won’t play in Steam but it does in Ubisoft Connect.

Also you can at this point open Lutris and find Steam and Ubisoft Connect links to your games. UNO is in there.
Create shortcut links for UNO in here, they are need for later.

Now go back to Game Mode.
UNO still won’t play from Library/Installed, but a Ubisoft Connect link was created in Non-Steam.
This is where UNO will play from.
(The work you did in Desktop Mode created this)

Even this is a little spotty in Game Mode, sometimes the Ubisoft Connect screen hangs on loading.

Hey JammasterC4,

Thanks for sharing these steps that have worked for you, we appreciate it!

I reinstalled uno on my steam deck today after seeing that there was an update. After the update Ubisoft connect was installed within the uno installation and I was able to sign into my Ubisoft account.

The game launches now and I’m able to start and play games locally.

If I try to play online, however, it continually fails when I try to join a match. I confirmed that I’m able to join online matches on my PC, so it seems that there is an issue with online play on the Steam Deck.

The update is a step forward, but not quite there yet.

Hello redEyed_blue,

Thank you for sharing this with us! I'm glad that the update made your game playable on Steam Deck

If you have any additional questions, please let us know.

[redEyed_blue]

It’s not fixed. It runs on steam deck, but as I already said it does not work for online games.

Could you please reread my post? The issue is only partially corrected. Uno on Steam Deck is still unable to connect to online multiplayer games.

Hello redEyed, thank you for your reply.

I am sorry to hear that the game will not connect to online game modes on Steam Deck for you. The Uno game is classed as playable on Steam Deck, this means the game can be played but some settings and adjustments may need tweaking to get the game to work as it does on PC.

Steam/Valve will test our Ubisoft titles for any compatibility issues and will determine how playable they are. For this reason, could you please check Steam's own Steam Deck forum and please report the issue you have connecting online with the game, as we currently do not have any troubleshooting steps we can give you that cater to Steam Deck specifically >

Steam Deck bug reporting forums > https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/

Steam Deck support articles > https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGame/?appid=1675200&gamepad=0

We will monitor the forums and check for other players who may be experiencing issues connecting with Steam Deck.

Steam Deck Compatibility?

Every time I try to join an online game on the deck I get an unavailable message. Can I even play online Uno on the deck?

[redEyed_blue]

No. Online play doesn’t work on the steam deck. Ubisoft doesn’t seem interested in making it compatible.

Multiplayer on the Steam Deck

The game run fine, I just cant play online. Has anyone been able to play online on the Steam Deck? I tried everything but no luck. Playing against bots kinda defeats the point of the game for me, I want to ruin my friendships.

[redEyed_blue]

Nope. Doesn’t work for me either. I was hopeful that the recent update would fix it, but no change for me.
